Sir David Jason and Jay Blades meet helicopter restorer Gordon, who has a treat for them. And can they help fellow tinkerer Becky bring her mechanical head to life?
Friends and fellow tinkerers Sir David Jason and Jay Blades are at the Midlands Air Festival, where they hope to meet and help passionate tinkerers and crafters.
Amateur automata maker Becky arrives at the Toolshed hoping to learn how to make her creations move more elaborately. Automata expert Chris Margett works with Becky and teaches her how to motorise her sculptures.
Friends and aviation enthusiasts Darren and Daren have turned their upcycling hobby into their occupation. They reveal some of their creations, which have been made by transforming old plane parts into pieces of art, and teach David and Jay the importance of polishing.
Finally, David and Jay head to the Midlands Air Museum to meet with 94-year-old Gordon, a true tinkerer and a volunteer at the museum who works six days a week restoring and maintaining the aircraft on display.
